About the host
Hosted by Lisa
We’re Lisa & Bob, the couple behind Otsego Lake Escape
Here’s a fun fact… both of us grew up coming to Otsego Lake as kids camping, swimming, tubing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and making memories with our families. The funny part? We didn’t even know each other back then!
Fast forward a few years (okay, maybe more than a few ), and now we get to bring our four boys here to do the exact same things we loved growing up. From fishing poles to campfires to cannonballs off the dock, this lake is pure nostalgia mixed with new memories in the making.
That’s why we created Otsego Lake Escape so you can unplug, laugh a little louder, and make your own traditions on this beautiful lake.
Can’t wait to share it with you!

Why they chose this property
We’ve always loved this stretch of Otsego Lake because it captures everything we adore about Northern Michigan peaceful mornings, friendly neighbors who wave as they pass by on their pontoons, and the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. You’re close enough to downtown Gaylord for great restaurants, shopping, and festivals, yet tucked away just enough to truly unwind. Whether it’s snowmobiling right from the driveway in winter or playing in the lake in the summer, this area just feels like home and we’re so grateful to share it with you.
What makes this property unique
What makes Otsego Lake Escape special is the feeling you get the moment you arrive. It’s that perfect mix of peace and play mornings on the dock, afternoons on the water, and evenings by the fire.
The cabin itself has that classic Up North charm spacious, comfortable, and ready for family and friends to gather. But what truly makes it unique is the location. You’re right on Otsego Lake with a front-row seat to stunning view and some of the best boating, fishing, and snowmobiling in Michigan.
For us, it’s more than a place to stay it’s where memories are made, laughter echoes off the water, and time slows down just a little.
